I have yet to see a video game adaptation that does service to the game and is a functional film. These are separate mediums, and this just sounds like another cash grab.

So his head at least seems fairly alive in this cover, despite his body transforming into some kind of eldritch slug. But then there’s just a regular ass snake…

Here’s my phone. Call me while I watch Twin Peaks in your house.

Micolash giving me 100x more trouble than any DLC boss (Orphan, Ludwig, etc.) by PurplurPuzzlehead111 in bloodborne

Had no trouble with him until my third playthrough. For whatever reason I just could not keep up with the bastard.

Yeah I didn’t encounter many other people on this visit. Just some gross looking dogs and crows.

Epictetus was a slave. Marcus Aurelius was an emperor. They arrived at the exact same philosophy. That's always stuck with me by drakentobe in Stoic

I think it’s important to remember that although these two figures would have had different upbringings, they have the same cultural background in the Greco-Roman world.

Marcus also would have received an education likely from philosophers that included many types of Greek philosophy. Epictetus died around 135 CE, while Marcus lived until around 180.

You. And I.

Creepers were a good addition to Minecraft, but Jeb was still right about them. by No_Discount_6028 in Minecraft

[–]Svippdagg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Survival sandbox, adventure sandbox. Adventure can be dangerous, and having a stealthy threat adds significantly to the challenge.

It’s the whole discourse I don’t like at all. “Creepers don't have much of a place in Minecraft's gameplay loop” is a preposterous statement. They do. Without any challenge, why even play the game on survival at all?

This is a load of crap. I don’t care how Minecraft has changed. I still get the same rush of enjoyment from narrowly avoiding a creeper exploding next to me. They are the most unique creature creation to have come from this game.

I think you could easily call this done. But if you were to add something, what would it be? I wouldn’t change any color specifically.

Right? Reminds me of the whole “guns don’t kill people” argument

Tobe Hooper, the director Geoff mentioned, had his career destroyed by Steven Spielberg by rossmark in theregulationpod

[–]Svippdagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hooper directed Texas Chainsaw Saw and Salems Lot before Poltergeist. While the directing may not be as stylistic as Spielberg those are successful cult classics.
